Getting around Italy by ferry

Italy has 5,275 miles of shoreline, a whole passle of islands—from giants like Sicily and Sardegna to smaller, popular vacation islands like Capri, Elba, and the Aeolians—some world-famous coastal regions (Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre), and several large lakes. That means, at some point, you will likely have to get into a boat to explore the best bits of Italy.

I'll get to posting more intel here soon, but for now, here are the key links you need:
